Very dissapointed
Anonymous 26.12.2015
This is the first ocarina I own. I bought it because I felt curious about the instrument.

I have to say that, as of now, I am extremely dissapointed with my purchase. Maybe it is the same with other ocarinas an this is a general ocarina issue, but I find it impossible to play it in tune, it is an extremely tonally unstable instrument.

What happens is that the pitch goes up the stronger you blow, which was expected. What I didn't expect was the amount of variation in the pitch. For example, playing the base note of the instrument (with all holes covered) you can go from B to E, a full fourth in range, depending on how strong you blow.

So, in order to play in tune you need to know the right amount of air pressure required for each note. This required pressure also changes from note to note, so the same air pressure that makes the low C sound too sharp can make the G sound too flat.

So in summary, really frustrating instrument, I deeply regret my purchase. I would not recommend anyone to buy this instrument, definitely not for 48 ? (which seems obscene right now). I don't think it is worth more than 10 ?, but right now I wouldn't even take it as a gift.

Amazing ocarina for the price

Perhaps not for everyone given it has the range of an 11 hole ocarina rather than a 12 hole, but the sound quality trumps all my other ocarinas.

Very flat breath curve and very responsive.

Outstanding!

Ich kann mich meiner Vorrednerin/schreiberin nur anschließen. Diese Ocarina ist ein außergewöhnliches Instrument, nicht nur für Profis.

Einzig in einem Punkt muß ich Heidrun S. allerdings widersprechen, nämlich bzgl. der Oberfläche. Ja, sie schmeichelt in der Hand und ist samtweich.
Genau darin sehe ich die Gefahr, daß das Instrument versehentlich aus der Hand rutscht. Es hat sein Gewicht, was man nicht außer Acht lassen sollte.
Daher wäre mein persönlicher Vorschlag, eine "Sicherungsschnur", wie bei den meisten Ocarinen üblich, anzubringen.

Sicherlich sieht dies während eines Konzerts etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig aus, aber wen sollte das stören? Doppelter Ansporn, die Leute mit der Musik vom Sicherheitsfaden abzulenken ;) !

Dies ist sicher nicht mein letztes Rotter /Galliani Instrument!

Und an dieser Stelle noch ein gigantisches Lob an den Thomann-Service. Erstens habe ich noch nie so schnell eine Lieferung hier zu uns in GB erhalten, zweitens funktierte der Tracking-Service erstklassig, drittens war die Ocarina brilliant verpackt.
Daher auch "Thumbs up" für Thomann.

Insgesamt eine mehr als positive Erfahrung, nach der man gerne weiterempfiehlt
